An information processing system enables image-based searching with linkage to external systems. It includes an image search system and at least one other system operated by a user, and a terminal device storing a search program. The image search system stores objects and associated linkage information based on user requests. It receives images, device identification, and search requests, then transmits the relevant linkage information back to the terminal based on recognized objects in the image. Log information, including the device identification, is accumulated upon each use. The terminal device captures an image, sends it with its device ID and a search request to the image search system, receives linkage information, and then, if the linkage information triggers a network access to another system, transmits the device identification to that other system.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: restricting a service based on a number of times a same identification information is utilized within a period of time.
This invention relates to a method for managing service access based on usage patterns of identification information. The method addresses the problem of unauthorized or excessive use of services by tracking and restricting access when the same identification information is used repeatedly within a defined time period. The system monitors instances where the same identification information is utilized to request a service and enforces restrictions when the usage exceeds a predetermined threshold. This helps prevent abuse, such as fraudulent account creation or repeated service requests, by limiting the number of times a single identifier can be used within a specified timeframe. The method ensures that services remain available to legitimate users while mitigating risks associated with repeated misuse of identification information. The restriction mechanism can be applied to various services, including online platforms, financial transactions, or authentication systems, to enhance security and maintain fair access. By dynamically adjusting access based on usage frequency, the system balances usability and protection against potential threats.
